  • The animations and graphics are praised for their quality, making battles visually exciting.
  • The story is considered weaker and less engaging than previous titles, with some players finding it repetitive and poorly paced.

  • story
    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some praising its originality and engaging plot, particularly in "X," which features a unique protagonist and intertwines various mecha anime narratives. However, others criticize the pacing and focus on specific characters, leading to a convoluted storyline that can feel repetitive and shallow compared to previous entries like "V." Overall, while the graphics and gameplay are appreciated, the story's depth and coherence vary significantly among players.

    • “I love how the SRW series always intertwines every mecha anime story with their own original protagonist story.”
    • “The original story for this game is unique too, unlike SRWV which uses the battleship Yamato story.”
    • “We play to save Al-Wrath, the magical world, and how this main plot mixes and matches other stories is so satisfying for me.”
    • “X's story focuses too much on Wataru's part.”
    • “Some characters have little effect on the story, like Crossbone and Daitarn3.”
    • “As the story goes on, it gradually becomes more and more boring and annoying because the enemy's motives we encountered from those series are the same in V and eventually it just repeats some parts of V's story.”
  • gameplay
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with many noting that it remains largely similar to previous entries, featuring familiar turn-based strategy mechanics and character upgrades. However, improvements such as the dogma system and enhanced animations have been praised, making the experience more enjoyable despite a lack of significant challenge or innovation. Overall, while the gameplay is polished and visually appealing, it may not offer enough new content to satisfy all players.

    • “Even though the gameplay is always the same turn-based strategy, the animation is so exciting to watch every mecha skill.”
    • “The game is a step up with the introduction of a few new mechanics that make the game enjoyable!”
    • “Super Robot Wars is my favorite since I was a little boy; good graphics and gameplay as always.”
    • “What I do not like is that the gameplay did not change much from their older versions; it's still the same old gameplay, and I would say it is not challenging. The missions are pretty simple and straightforward with little obstacle.”
    • “There's some updated gameplay aspects (mainly not needing to repurchase tactical upgrades on replays), but it's similar enough to V that I doubt players will notice a change.”
    • “Even the gameplay is always the same turn-based strategy, but the animation is so exciting to watch every mecha skill.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality, particularly in battle scenes, with HD visuals and custom background music enhancing the experience. However, some users noted issues like frame rate limitations during animations and a lack of game loading options mid-play, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's appeal, though opinions on the storyline vary.

    • “But retaining the use of custom BGM (a staple of SRW Z3) and the HD graphics (except for the battle animations locking to 30 FPS) is worth the purchase, especially during a Steam sale.”
    • “Good graphics and storyline.”
    • “Super Robot Wars has always been my favorite since I was a little boy; the graphics and gameplay are as good as always.”
    • “Better graphics in battle scenes, a more lively music, but cannot load the game while in the middle of a game - probably its original intention was to discourage save/load, but it's still a bit of a pain.”
    • “But the retention of custom background music (a staple of SRW Z3) and the HD graphics (except for the battle animations locking to 30 fps) is worth the purchase... obviously on a Steam sale.”
    • “Graphics, sound, story, etc.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as lively and engaging, enhancing the battle experience with blood-pumping tracks and custom options.

Overall, the soundtrack contributes positively to the game's atmosphere and enjoyment.

    • “All have voiced lines, and music from their respective series too!”
    • “Better graphics in battle scenes, a more lively music, but cannot load the game while in the middle of a game - probably its original intention was to discourage save/load, but it's still a bit of a pain.”
    • “The mechs are there, the blood-boiling music and animations are there, the hyper interesting campaign is also there.”
    • “Screaming the attack moves and/or singing along with the background songs makes it better.”
